HOW TO REACH SEVILLA

Important Notice

Due to recent disruption to train services, travelling from Madrid to Seville by train is currently not possible.

For this reason, we would like to inform you of the alternative travel options available for participants travelling from Madrid to Seville to attend the ISTW Congress, which will take place from 16 to 20 November at the Hotel Giralda Center in Seville.

The available alternatives are:

By Plane

The airport is ten kilometres north of the city, close to the A-4 motorway. When going from the airport to the city centre, visitors can opt for a taxi (30 € aprox.) or take a special bus service, connecting the Plaza de Armas bus station in the centre of the city with the airport, with different stops throughout the city. The journey takes approximately 35 minutes. Public transport company TUSSAM.

By Bus

There are two bus and coach stations in the city. The main one is at Plaza de Armas, with numerous daily national and international services. The Prado de San Sebastián bus station operates scheduled regional services.

By Car

A good way to get to Seville is by road – there is a good road network with several motorways (toll and free). The most important is the A-4, which connects Andalusia and Madrid. Granada and the Costa del Sol (Malaga, International Airport) are linked with Seville by the A-92 motorway. Travel to Portugal is on the A-49 motorway. All access to motorways and main roads is from the SE-30 ring road around Seville, with numerous points of access into the city centre.

We recommend checking the availability, schedules and fares of each option in advance to ensure a smooth journey to Seville.
